Meryl Streep..

The magic of Meryl Streep, is that she can work with anyone and bring out the best in them! I just watched 'Its Complicated', not a great film and her co star alec boldwin, has never been my favourite actor, to say the least! But in this he wasn't so bad, and I give full credit to Meryl. Not that he expressed any great acting skills, but she just simply made him look good, or better than usual shall I say. She has some thing special, She can be cast with anyone and make them look good, she is just so great like that.
Mama Mia is probably the only film of hers I didn't like, and that's just because I absaloutly hate ABBA with a passion. But still, she was fantastic in that too and her reasons for doing that film were very touching. Mama Mia came about just after the tragedy of the twin towers, and she felt New York needed something to lift its spirits, especially for the children. So she took her kids to see it in broadway and for the first time since 9/11 she saw their faces lit up with magic, this was all she needed to confirm making Mama Mia was the right thing to do!
Apart from Meryls incredible beauty and grace, she is undeniably one of the best actresses of our time. She already is, and will go down, a complete legend. Not to mention her incredible skills for flawlessly imitating accents from around the globe.
On screen she is so unique, from subtle facial expressions and body language to not being afraid to take on challenging roles, and also not being afraid to make a complete ass of herself in some comedy gold moments!
I could go on and on about the wonderful Meryl Streep, But I think you get the idea! Just amazing!
